You should try jogging 2 and a half mile around a park. Do not time yourself at the beginning because it will just increase your pressure. You should try out the 100 meters or 200 meters dash. Basically what you do is run fast around the track. If your time is good, then try out with the 400 meters.
Running: What is a the bestway to start a 4 mile run -fast or slow?
I am a US Army NCO and one of the longest running debates is how to start a run - sprint or jog. I run a 13:30 two mile and a 58:00 eight mile - so I am an OK runner. But when training others who average 14:00 to 17:00 two-mile times what is the best way to start a 4 mile run. This is for an information paper so I need more than opinion (although I want to hear those too). Please give as many references as you can.
I've had the best luck with an intervalic aproach.Starting slow after a warm up and strtch,then a brief sprint in intervals.The logic behind this lies in the fuels used for both types of activity(aerobic and anaerobic) and the physiological (or biological) processes that take place.During aerobic activity your body mainly uses fat converted to glucose through either ketosis or gluconeogenisis. Anaerobic actvity mainly uses glycogen(stored carbohydrates) for fuel.This will eventually cause a lactic acid build up in the muscles.The slower pace after will help these acid levels disipate and the body buffer these acids to remake fuels like ATP(adenosine triphosphate) and glucose.The Krebs Cycle is involved to some degree here as well. Your nubers are pretty good right now.My suggestions would be the careful choice of your day before pre run carb up.Of course long chain carbs help most but the addition of fructose(fruit sugar) will be better for replacing and storing liver glycogen(long term glycogen storage).Fructose is four times moere effective in replacing liver glycogen than any other carbohydrate. One supplement that seems to be of great interest in this particular forum is Beta Alanine.It has been shown in numerous studies to increase the buffering rate of lactic acids. I usually don't post links,but you can do a search for those key terms for more information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K rebs_cycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B eta_alanine
will running on the treadmillduring the winter help me keepmy running fitness?
I usually run outside but the weather is making it impossible. I've been running mostly on the treadmill for the past month. I try to make them hard runs, when I go back to the road will it be hard to run?
I've owned a treadmill for about 24 years. You can get a great workout on one, and get into very good shape while waiting for the weather to allow outdoor running. I've done it myself for many years, with good results, but there are a few things to be aware of. First, treadmills have a softer surface than outdoors on paved roads, so it will take a little time for your legs to get used to the extra pounding of outdoor running. Second, most people tend to take shorter strides on a treadmill, so when you move to outdoors, you might have to break this habit. And maybe it's just me, but whenever I make the transition from many weeks of treadmill running to outdoors, it takes about a month before my stride feels smooth and fluid outdoors. Until then, I feel like I'm tripping over my own feet, and I feel like I can't lift my feet off the ground enough. Almost feels like I'm running uphill when I'm actually not. The good news is this feeling is the worst at the start of the runs, and by the last few miles, I almost feel back to normal.
